    If you're ever in the Connersville area you MUST stop in to this adorable 50s style drive-in diner! Everything was on point and exactly what I had hoped for... Small town feel, friendly staff, made from scratch food and tasty treats! I thoroughly enjoyed my hand breaded tenderloin, onion rings, coleslaw and strawberry pie! Boy, my mouth is watering as I write this up! Bottom line - go to Kunkel's!!!!

    Another classic Indiana drive-in. If only we still had more drive-in theaters. Kunkel's is famous for it's hand breaded Hoosier pork tenderloins. This isn't a giant tenderloin, and it's fried in bread crumbs. It even has maybe a slight cinnamon taste? In any event, it's pretty juicy and has a nice crunch. It sort of splits the difference between the really thick monster tenderloins and the super thin ones. All in all a pretty good sandwich--though I prefer the thicker ones. The onion rings were pretty good, too. Same coating as the tenderloin. It sort of falls off the ring like the kind they used to serve at Damon's. The strawberry pie, though vaunted on their sign, was a bit disappointing. I expected Indiana berries! Still worth a stop.

    5 stars? Yep, it's a 5 star drive in, no doubt about it in my book. The help was amazing. My wife and I had never been here before, and came on the recommendation of a dear friend. I had a couple of questions about the menu, and our server knew what she was talking about. The hand breaded tenderloin, while not the very best one I've ever had, was well above average and the size was right. It wasn't huge, it wasn't tiny...just...right. I gotta say a word about the onion rings. Those things are amazing. If you're a fan of onion rings, get them. Seriously. They're tops. Great food, fast and friendly service, and all the help seemed sincerely happy that we chose to visit their restaurant. We'll be back.

    Okay, just stopped here for dinner, Saturday evening, not too crowded. Anyway, we were extremely hungry as we hadn't eaten since 7:00 a.m. and the time here is 5:30. I read on a review that the cheeseburgers were great, well that person had to have been more hungry than I was, it was shy of being qualified as average. I also ordered the fried mushrooms which were also below average, a bit too doughy. My husband ordered the breaded tenderloin and onion rings. The tenderloin, he said, was very good but the onion rings, not so much; in fact, he just threw half of them away. While I'm sure this place is decent for this area, I wouldn't go out of my way for the food. We decided to pass on the dessert and see if there might be a better choice up the road.

    Kunkel's has been in operation since 1955, and to my knowledge, it's only changed hands once (from the Kunkel family to the Cartwright family about a decade ago). The name, the iconic neon sign, the drive-in style setup with the speaker boxes at each parking space... all that is still in tact. And from the vast majority of Kunkelers, the food has stayed consistent over the years as well. Yes, the prices have raised, but I don't think the place could stay in operation still charging 25 cents for a cheeseburger. The eponymous Kunkelburger is similar to a Big Boy or a Big Mac (oh, shame) - two hamburger patties with cheese, lettuce and tartar sauce on a double decker bun. That and the K-Loin sandwich (a breaded, fried pork tenderloin the size of your head) are the two biggest sellers, as are the drinks, flavored to your liking at no extra charge (I recommend the vanilla Sprite or the chocolate-cherry Coke). Kunkel's makes much of its food on-site. The cole slaw, potato salad, most of the pies (including the famous strawberry pie, served only from April to September) and soups, the Hand-Breaded (a.k.a. Homemade) Tenderloin (one of my favorites) and the coffee cake, which is a divine little-known secret left over from the days when Kunkel's served breakfast - all of those are made fresh right there in the kitchen. There's also a Wednesday Beef Manhattan lunch special - the beef is tender and the gravy can't be beat. They also hand-dip and flavor their milkshakes, which are simply ice cream, milk and goodness. Remember that this is a drive-in, so it's not exactly gourmet. Things get battered and fried here, and the smell wafts through the parking lot. For the prices, the indulgence and the trip down memory lane, it's totally worth the visit.

    Oh Kunkel's you've stayed tried and true through the years and never have disappointed! Located right on the main drag through town Kunkels is your typical local drive-in but hasn't sold out. They have the food come right to your car or you can sit inside. The famous Kunkel burger is like a Big Mac but wayy better. the hand made milk shakes are fantastic and the home made pies are to die for! (try the peanut butter if they have it, trust me) The service here is usually pretty good and quick. Oh and the onion rings here are too legit to quit

    Kunkel's is good and cheap! The servers are friendly and the drive-in diner experience is unique in itself.
